Slavoj Žižek Live!
Wednesday, October 22, 2025, at 7:30 p.m.
Join the rockstar philosopher and revolutionary Slavoj Žižek for a celebration of his life and thought. Expect dialectics, psychoanalysis and jokes. Erudite and comic, ironic and profound, philosopher Slavoj Žižek has travelled into territory where few of us dare to tread. And, at age 76, he shows no signs of becoming less provocative.
In this special celebration, he’ll delve deep into his life story and journey: from his education in Yugoslavia, where his master’s thesis was denounced by the authorities for being "not Marxist enough," and his fight to democratize Slovenia and defend human rights, to his current role as one of the 21st century’s most renowned public intellectuals. This is a one-of-a-kind glimpse into the makings of the man widely known as "the most dangerous philosopher in the West."
He’ll explore his philosophical journey and reveal his thoughts on the state of the world and prospects for the future. What does he think about AI, chatbots and new technologies? Is there hope for humankind in an age of climate catastrophe? Is progress really a good thing? Discover the answers from one of the most outrageous thinkers of our time.
